Piccolino Caffé Grande, Manchester

Excellent, don’t hesitate. Just needed a place for me and my mate to eat and chat over a couple of hours. Enjoyed our time so much that I forgot to take any food photographs.

The chefs know their trade and they have a service staff that makes sure their talents are not wasted with poor service. I love Italian cooking and these guys have the baton!!

Food and atmosphere were great. But it would be a shame not to mention lovely Jennifer, she is an amazing waitress who made our evening. She helped my friend with her diary intolerance by offering an alternative dressing for her pasta with chicken (truly marvelous dish, well, after lasagna i had, adored it). Nice place with best food in England. Grazie, tutto era buonissimo.

We went on Saturday night and it looked busy. The food was excellent however, my aperol spritz was on the weak side and the waitresses were rushing and even missed a drinks order on the table (1 person didn't get their order in) and there was no check backs.

We visited this restaurant on a recommendation and really glad we did. The decor is lovely and the restaurant had a really good atmosphere. It seemed pretty busy for a Sunday night but service was prompt and well delivered. Food was delicious and I would particularly recommend the arancini. I have arancini any time I see it on a menu and this was about the best I have had Edit: Visited again on another trip to Manchester. We were served by Cesare, who was fantastic and very engaging. Another fantastic meal.
